Was also glad when he did the vitrectomy (operation to clear the blood from in front of the retina) that they used liquid instead of gas. Said if they used gas I would have to keep face down for a few days. Since they were able to use liquid didn't have to do that.

Good description of the shot. Really guys, sounds worse than it is. See what some of you young ones have to look forward to? Tell ya, not many young people in the retina clinic waiting room.
